It is assumed that noncausal and causal Wiener filters are employed at the receiver to perform channel estimation with the aid of training symbols sent periodically by the transmitter. For both filters, the variances of estimate errors are obtained from the Doppler power spectrum of the channel. Subsequently, achievable rate expressions are provided. The training period, and data and training power allocations are jointly optimized by maximizing the achievable rate expressions. Numerical results are obtained by modeling the fading as a Gauss-Markov process. The achievable rates of causal and noncausal filtering approaches are compared. For the particular ranges of parameters considered in the paper, the performance loss incurred by using a causal filter as opposed to a noncausal filter is shown to be small. The impact of aliasing that occurs in the undersampled version of the channel Doppler spectrum due to fast fading is analyzed. Finally, energy-per-bit requirements are investigated in the presence of noncausal and causal Wiener filters.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122118522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this situation, the CSG algorithm stresses the co-channel interference minimization more than the maximization of the power radiated to the in-cell mobile terminal.

The asymptotic sum-rate of the channel, under Rayleigh-distributed fading, is also presented. We prove that the sum-rate of the MAC with D&F relays converges almost surely to the sum-rate without relays. Hence, at the asymptote, multiuser diversity makes D&F relaying useless. Nevertheless, is also shown here that for finite number of users, the sum-rate converges to a strictly increasing function of the number of relays.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129283361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This kind of nonlinear models has important applications in the field of telecommunications, e.g. to model uplink channels in Radio Over Fiber multiuser communication systems. The proposed technique is based on the decomposition of a tensor composed of covariances of the chip-rate sampled received signals, the transmitted signals being assumed to be Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulated. The considered tensor-based approach allows a great flexibility on the number of antennas and the spreading factor, which is particularly desirable when identifying nonlinear systems. Two blind channel estimation algorithms are considered: the Alternating Least Squares (ALS) algorithm and a non-iterative algorithm based on Eigenvalue Decompositions (EVD). The performance of the proposed estimation algorithms is illustrated by means of computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114379696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scheme only requires partial channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) in terms of the equivalent channel moduli. This paper deals with the problem of feeding back the CSI from the multiple receivers to the base station (BS) transmitter through limited capacity feedback links. This involves a quantization and a delay that produces errors in the CSIT. In this sense, the proposed scheme in this paper is based on a robust design that takes into account these errors. Additionally, a dynamic bit allocation in the feedback among the users is derived, and combined with differential quantization to minimize the transmit power. It considers both the userspsila sensitivities to the quantization errors and the Doppler frequencies due to the mobility. Simulation results show the benefits from using such schemes.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126355204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The output SINR provided by a reduced-rank receiver depends on the filter rank and is confined between the SINRs of the single user matched filter (SUMF) and the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receiver. In packet CDMA data networks like HSDPA, the measure of performance is the throughput. Thus, previous results on reduced-rank MMSE receivers SINR cannot be used directly. In this paper, we study the throughput of CDMA data networks using reduced-rank MMSE receivers, automatic retransmission request (ARQ) and packet combining. We derive the expression of the system throughput as the function of the filter rank, the coding rate and the number of retransmissions. We present simulation results to highlight the behavior of the maximum throughput as a function of the filter rank and the coding rate. We then conclude on coding strategies to adopt depending on the signal to noise ratio and the receiver rank in order to maximize the system throughput.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114047763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
